The caption should already be set when the window is opened. This is
important for some window managers. (KDE's kwin, for example, can store
special settings for certain windows, such as "no border" and "always
on top". KDE uses the window title to determine if a special rule is
to be applied. KDE will be made more tolerant, too.)
After applying the attached patches (based on latest CVS) you should
have a new option available within your version that should also
show up using fgfs --help, the syntax is:
fgfs --min-status={level} --show-aircraft
whereas "level" can be anything between
"alpha","beta","early-production" and "production"
Of course running something like
fgfs --min-status=alpha --show-aircraft
should not return any aircraft right now, as none of the
current aircraft definition files in your base-package is using the
required
<status></status>
tag - but you can easily give it a try by adding something like
<status>alpha</status>
The tag should be placed as a sub-tag within <sim> - so directly behind
the <description> tag would be just fine and straight-forward.
I've added two new debug log types for the instrumentation and systems. They
used to use the autopilot debug log, because I couldn't figure out how to
make new log types. Well, now I have figured it out. ;-)
Don't overwrite user settings from config files.
fgfs had in any case set bump-mapping to false, no matter if this
node did already exist (because it was defined in a config file).
This is a patch to make display list usage optional. They are on by default.
Use --prop:/sim/rendering/use-display-list=false to use immediate mode.
There is also a change in exception handling in main.cxx and bootstrap.cxx

a working state. I still see an anomoly when taking a screen shot from inside
a 3d cockpit, but external (chase/tower) views seem to work well. I also
added a property to control how many screen-res tiles are generated in the
output. Theoretically, you can now generate unlimited resolution screen shots,
or limited only by your disk space and patience.
Today I successfully generated a 20*1024 x 20*768 (20480x15360) resolution
screen shot. If you rendered that at 100 dpi it would cover a poster of
about 17 feet by 12.8 feet.
Good luck trying to display something that big or convert it to anything
useful on a typical PC. :-)
split). If SimGear is configured --with-jpeg-factory, then FlightGear
will fail to build unless this function is present.
FIXME: this is very messy architecturally -- find a better solution,
like passing this explicitly as a callback to the libJPEG class
(SimGear should not have a dependency on FlightGear).
Split up main.cxx into a program manegement part (which remains in
main.cxx) and a render part (the new renderer.?xx files). Also turn
the renderer into a small class of it's own. At this time not really
exctining because most of the stuff is still global, but it allows us
to slowly migrate some of the global definitions into the new class.
The FGRenderer class is now managed by globals, so to get the renderer
just call gloabals->get_renderer()
At some pijt it might be a good idea to also turn the remaining code in
main into a class of it's own. With a bit of luck we end up with a more
robust, and better maintainable code.
this was always only meant to be a test program for the metar lib, but now
that people are referring to it as a means to get metar reports, I think a
usage info is desirable. The list of test ids, on the other hand, isn't
necessary any more. This can still be handled by a Makefile or the commandline.
I'm all for keeping this tool in cvs, however. And also the not-used stuff
therein is a welcome source for how to use the SGMetar class.
A good elevation is critical for proper glide slope modeling. This patch
assigns the average field elevation to any ILS component that doesn't have
a valid elevation.
Also, for an ILS approach, use the GS transmitter elevation for glide slope
calculations rather than the localizer elevation, in some cases this can
make a big difference.
Wouldn't it be better to prepare the whole list of paths (or two
separate ones for Terrain/Objects if necessary) in FGGlobals::set_fg_scenery,
and to pass the vector<string>s to FGTileEntry::load? It doesn't seem to make
a lot of sense to split the path up, modify it, mount it together to one string
again, and then let FGTileEntry::load split it up again.
Here we go:
Main/globals.cxx
================
As fg_scenery is now a string_list, we don't need initialization. Furthermore,
this list is cleared with every set_fg_scenery() call.
ctor: create default dir from fg_root if necessary. Otherwise check all paths
of --fg-scenery/FG_SCENERY: If the path doesn't exist, ignore it. If it contains
a dir Terrain and/or Objects, then only add that to the list. If it contains
neither, then use the path as is.
Scenery/tileentry.cxx
=====================
Trivial: don't split a "base path", but use the given path_list as is.
(I considered a variable name "path_list" better suited than "search".)
Scenery/FGTileLoader.cxx
========================
No more fiddling with sub-paths. This has to be delivered by get_fg_scenery
already.
